I need some help with math and my lack of experience in comm power needs.
The Production Intercom (PI) devices are estimates based off currently available gear.
- LQ 2W2 - Will provide the power (150mA Max)
- EF-701M (<= 80mA)
- PI Blazon/Flasher (21mA in standby/ready & 120mA active)
- PI Handset station (10 to 40mA)
The EF-701M will only be used as a 2-wire to 4-wire interface. The handset station would be used to "Call" but a handset would be connected in case it is needed by a producer standing by the FOH engineer.
I know theory doesn't always equate with reality. My gut tells me we will be fine because the blazon would be used so infrequently that a short term spike wouldn't cause any issue. If only my confidence with comm would equate to my gut.
Do you suggest a product replacement for the EF-701M? We tried using AudioMan transformers without luck (perhaps a story for another thread) to make the interface between the 2-wire gear and the console.
Thank you.
